Great Location in the center of South Beach. Beach access with chairs and towels provided. South Beach dining, shopping and nightlife….until 5:00 AM! We stayed Fri and Sat nights. Loud Club music lasted into morning’s wee hours, making restful sleep impossible. Latin beat is great for partying, but not for resting. Avoid this area if you want to sleep at night.

It looks like a restaurant on the outside but it’s also a hotel, so that is a bit confusing at first. The building is older but the room was clean bathroom was huge, had room coffee and bottled water, and the staff was very nice. Very close to the beach. The restaurant downstairs is popular. The area is very convenient although noisy at night because of its proximity to so many venues. Which is not a bad thing if you’re there to enjoy the nightlife. They also have a pool which I didn’t get to use but it looked cool. It had a clear wall so you could people watch. It’s a perfect place to stay in Miami Beach experience and for adults. I don’t know if they have a gym I didn’t ask.

Great location. We had a suite with a balcony which was nice. The reason for my poor ratings no internet the entire time we were there. 3 people in the room but only towels and pillows for 2. The bell boy is very very kind. It’s a small hotel
